As a part of MediaBizLab studies I'm participating to Tools of Digital Media -course where we have to do some exercises with Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Final Cut Pro. Our first exercise was to build website where we can host all our other exercises. We were supposed to use Dreamweaver for that. I'm not a coder (although I've done some webpages by hand in the beginning of 2000) and maybe because of that Dreamweaver has always felt awfully complex piece of software for me.

I read from Adobe Muse and realized it's freely available for beta testing. So I grabbed my copy and started to experiment. I have to say I feel very positive about the software. I understand it's restricted at the moment for simple websites without content management systems and maybe the code it creates is little bit long and not so clear but it seems to be valid and working. There's definitely still need for real web developers with coding skill but for some small businesses, personal home pages, prototyping etc. Adobe Muse is awesome!

You can find the page (only in Finnish) I did as an course exercise with Adobe Muse here.

Welcome!

My name is Tapio Haaja and I'm doing MA in New Media in Helsinki Media Lab. At the moment I'm also in MediaBizLab minor studies program. Before studying I worked seven years as an promotion producer at Finnish TV channel called Sub. I'm really interested in future of video production, new/social media, human approach to technology etc... Originally this blog was for my audiovisual experiments but nowadays it's more like study diary.
